Outdoor festival procession at a temple-like setting under a red umbrella with tassels and a gold staff. A deity murti decorated with garlands sits on a decorated cart draped in white cloth, with fruit and flower offerings on a wooden table in front. Men in white dhotis and shirts stand behind it. A woman in an orange sari with long dark hair stands at center, and a man on the right in an orange robe with gold beaded necklaces and a bald head holds the gold-topped staff. Devotees in white and yellow surround them, some bowing, with elderly women in the foreground with grey hair and folded hands. Colorful striped arches of flowers frame the deity.
